Компьютерную Инженерию -> компьютерную инженерию : As a rule majors are not capitalized.
малеьнкой -> маленькой : Typo, I assume.
я их хорошо не знаю -> я их не знаю OR я их плохо знаю OR не очень хорошо знаю : I'm guessing this is a literal translation of the English "I don't know them well" which isn't something you say in Russian.
Рафаел -> Рафаэль is the typical Russian spelling, your way is not wrong, simply unusual or more specific.
Он несколько месяцев старше -> Он на несколько месяцев старше меня : Omitted a preposition.
но ещё каждый раз -> но каждый раз : You might've seen "а ещё" which sometimes can replace "но", but not always, and not here. Or maybe you're translating some Portuguese phrase that doesn't translate literally.

Otherwise, job well done!

Thank you very much s0fist!

On the last one it was actually a Portuguese phrase like you said. I put ещё there with the meaning of "yet" or "still", meaning that even after so many years I still go there every time. But even with this meaning I don't know if it's correct at all.

Very reluctantly, I have decided not to be part of team MIR. I'm on three other teams, there are about 50 people between them, and I just can't keep up with everyone. I will probably continue to follow many of you through the year, but life is pulling me in other directions right now.

It's very probable I will return to Russian later in the year, but for now, there are too many non-language related things going on in my life to focus on language studies right now.

Good luck to everyone with their studies. :)

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that, but I totally understand how you're feeling. I'll keep a spot for you in the
corner of the space station, in case you want to come back later, and I'll wait until I come back from Egypt
next week to actually remove your name, in case you change your mind. Let us know if there is anything we
can do for you!

Thanks.

If you could move the space station into orbit around another planet that has a longer day.. say 36 hours.. that would be awesome. :)

Всем привет! Если можно я бы хотела стать участником этой команды.
Hi everyone. As mentioned in another thread, I would like to join the team as an associate member. I'll read the topics and take part in some activities, but no one is obligated to read my posts, and I am not obligated to read all the journals either (though I'll read a bunch of them anyway).

I'm a Canadian living in St. Petersburg, Russia. I've been here since August 2011, and I was here for a year in 2009-2010. I live with my Russian fiancee, although we only speak English at home (go figure). I'm a strong intermediate (maybe even basic fluency?) in Russian, and I'm hoping to get to a more fluent level by the end of the year.

Edit: I can't figure out how to post a link. I think it's because I'm still a newbie.
